Welcome to the discussion

Hey--I am actually asking for my twenty year old son who is looking for a job but struggles with anxiety and communication, especially when he's put on the spot. Familiar anyone? The jobs he has had to this point he hasn't had to interview for so while he does not have interview experience he does have very valuable and varied work//life experience.

Even though I recognize that the whole thing is very individual, any strategies/tips would be very appreciated by him.

He has practiced some very generic interview questions with his OT but tends to "go blank" when nervous and someone shoots an unexpected question at him.

I do recall a short discussion on this very topic at one of the first support meetings I went to and I also remember feeling so much better that I personally am not alone in my own experiencing difficulty when interviewing. Same too with my son.

Thanks all!
